PROJECTs DESCRIPTION

GLOBAL PASSPORT Season 9

Global Passport is a national project run by AIESEC Vietnam which aims to enhance English

communication skills, cultural understanding and self-confidence for students and recent

graduates.

Why do we run Global Passport?

The Vietnamese government has identified English speaking as the key to the country’s future

growth ambitions because of the strong influence of globalization on its economics, especially

employment.

CHALLENGES

Effective methods of teaching English are not always available in public education. A

major part of young Vietnamese cannot communicate well even they receive English

Pag

education since secondary school. They also don't have enough confidence to talk with

foreigners. For them, English is a subject that very difficult to learn.

The costs of learning English in language centers with better methods are not always

affordable.

Who is our target customer?

University/college/high-school students and recent graduates who:

Have basic or average English proficiency level

Not strong speaking skill

Lack of confidence to communicate with foreigners or speak in front of large audience

(public speaking/ presentation)

Small sized class (maximum 15 students) with 3 foreign teachers and 1 local supporter.

Reasonable price as this project is one of social initiatives from AIESEC Vietnam to

empower young Vietnamese in the context of globalization.

What is about Global Passport season 9?

Global Passport season 7 in Summer 2015 had a giant step forward with double realization

initiative. Continue this legacy, season 9 is a double realization Global Passport as well. By

lengthening project implementation time from 4 weeks to 6 weeks, we believe in delivering

better English course to Vietnamese students, more exchange experiences to AIESEC

exchange participants and intensive experience for member development.

STEP OUT Season 4

What is Step Out?

Step Out is a unique project of AIESEC Hanoi local chapter with the aim of creating a

generation of young people who dare to step out of comfort zone to see the world by their

own eyes, to discover the world by themselves and write their own stories. We believe that

"Youth's spirit comes from new experiences".

Why do we run Step Out?

The need and important of getting to know the world and being a change agent in youth

Nowadays, with globalization trend, the world becomes closer and flatter than ever. Being a

part the young generation in this current context, we understand how necessary and

important to know the big world out there. We all have many questions that need to be

answered, and the answers will not come if we just stay within in our familiar area. The world

now needs the youngsters with right risk-taking attitude who dare to step out of their comfort

Pag

zone in order to see the world by their own eyes, with right action-oriented mindset to write

their own stories, develop themselves and make positive changes to society.

As Henry Rollins once said:

“I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a

backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown.

Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back

and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently,

no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going

to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about; I’m

sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people,

their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that

you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of

people—Americans and Europeans—come back and go, ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on.,,

Youth need go more, explore more to see new things, new cultures, new people then have

global mindset, sympathy and deep look about everything around. That’s how youth will

develop and be the change agent that the world needs.

The reality in local

Even though giving the fact that travelling stands a vital role for personal development, a

part young people still choose to stay within their familiar zone and follow the plan that was

decided and well-prepared by their parents. As a result, the passivity becomes a barrier

prevents young people from living a meaningful life. This is because of the influence of the

family-oriented lifestyle of Vietnamese ancient customs, which leads to the over-protection

within family and this fact. At the same time, for other part of young people, they are taking

trips by themselves without good preparation, proper consideration and self-protection skills.

The direct alignment with AIESEC’s spirit: youth leadership development through exchange

Step Out encourages and equips young people crucial knowledge to step out of comfort

zone, to get the new experiences, to see and understand, respect different values and views

then make positive changes within themselves and community. If we do well, we can inspire

participating students to take part in Global Citizen and Step Out project can become the

most efficient method for engagement with AIESEC.

VIETNAM YOUTH ICON Season 7

What is Vietnam Youth Icon?

Vietnam Youth Icon is a trademark project of AIESEC Hanoi local chapter with the aim of

creating an ideal image of a young Vietnamese representative based on developing

leadership skill and youth responsibilities towards the society.

Why do we run Vietnam Youth Icon?

Today, in the era of advanced technology, globalization and the integration of various

cultures, young people, particularly in Vietnam are changing themselves to adapt to this

situation. However, they are overwhelmingly influenced and have no direction in terms of

having a proper mindset and lifestyle to develop in this modern world. Through series event

of the project, Vietnam Youth Icon strives for not only shaping the image of a confident,

dynamic, and responsible young generation, but also encouraging them to take action for

community benefits.

What is about Vietnam Youth Icon 7?

Since the first launch in July 2013, Vietnam Youth Icon has successfully developed leadership

and soft skills for many youngsters. In order to bring this project closer and better relevance to

the community, two sub-labels were created under Vietnam Youth Icon brand to directly

address hot issues, together with developing leadership skills among youngster:

Vietnam Youth Icon – ASEAN directly addresses to the hot topic in recent years:

ASEAN regional collaboration with the aim of enhancing understanding among ASEAN

countries as well as three main pillar of The ASEAN Community.

Vietnam Youth Icon – SRHR directly addresses to the Sexual and Reproductive

Health and Rights with the aim of generating awareness and enhancing understanding

of this issue.

Vietnam Youth Icon – ASEAN was well – organized in July 2015 for the first time and is going

to come back in this December 2015 with promising improvements.

Pag

For upcoming Vietnam Youth Icon 7, we will tab on the second sub-label: SHRH for the first

time, which will require us lots of preparation in both knowledge and understanding.

Why do we choose SRHR to work on?

Youth World Population Hits the Highest Number in History

Today, our world is home to 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24 and a total of 717

million young people aged 15 to 24 lives in Asia Pacific region, comprising 60% of the world’s youth.

According to UNFPA State of World Population 2014, nearly 6 million girls in the Asia Pacific region

become mothers and girls who live in the top 5 countries with the highest number of adolescent fertility

give birth by the age of 18. This contributes to 5.4 billion births per year. In addition, there are around

39,000 girls get married every day against their basic human rights.

Laws in many countries create a mismatch between the age at which young people can consent to sex,

the age at which they can marry and the age at which they can access sexual and reproductive health

services. The age at which many young people begin having sex (and their need for sexual and

reproductive health services becomes more acute) may differ again. Most countries do not allow young

people below 18 to independently consent to medical interventions. Legislation in many countries

recognizes that young people can legally consent to sex from a younger age. For example,

In China, male and female can consent to sex as early as the age of 14, but the law only

recognizes their consent to medical intervention at the age of 18.

While in Philippines, male and female can consent to sex from the early age of 12, but can only

access medical intervention legally at the age of 18. Where the age of consent to sex is lower

than the age of consent to medical interventions, these young people may find themselves

unable to consent to the services they need to protect their sexual and reproductive health.

Youth Involvement in SRHR Determines World’s Future Generation

The choices young people are given and decisions they make now will affect future generations.

Therefore, the role and involvement of young people who are competent in leadership and advocacy

on SRHR is quite urgent. Not only they will be the voice for those who have been struggling for their

basic human rights and sexual rights but they will also be the key to open more access to SRH-related

information and facilities.

package.
